Surf contest at Llangennith was a great success!!!

On Wednesday 23rd April the surf teams from Swansea University and Cardiff University came together to duke it out for pride and prestige.

There were two mens teams of four put up by each university and two ladies from each university to make a heat of four... So 20 entrants in total, 5 first round heats and some good surfing too.

Contest was judged by: Dan Williams

The event was held in 2-3 foot waves.  It was a little bit choppy but actually looked quite fun and the sun was shining too!

Check out some of the shots below:
